an - Very fast anagram generator.
Generates anagrams for a phrase supplied by the user, the words used in the anagram are taken from a specified dictionary which should contain one word per line (default:/usr/share/dict/words). Appears to be up to 10 times faster than wordplay, especially for longer phrases.


More information on this package can be found on the Debian web site.

Now available in RSS and ATOM flavors too.

anagram browser

Years back, I made an anagram browser which uses "an" for its back end. It makes finding or building good anagrams much easier. Two versions are available... The first here:

http://toykeeper.net/programs/anagrammer/

And the second (better, but unfinished) one is "Word Wanker":

http://toykeeper.net/programs/ww/

I'd recommend looking at the page for the first one, then downloading word wanker for any actual use. A large dictionary is on the page for the first one, if the default debian dictionaries aren't big enough for you. Both programs require tcl/tk (I hadn't discovered python and gtk yet, sorry).

One of my favorite anagrams: "Netscape Navigator" -> "Proven Satanic Gate"
